Second Round Happiness…

Now here’s something hasn’t happened often over the last dozen years or so: The Los Angeles Kings have not only made the playoffs, but they’ve advanced past the first round!

At the end of the current season, the Kings were ranked 8th in the NHL’s Western Conference, earning them a spot in the playoffs and a matchup with the number 1 seeded and President’s Trophy-winning Vancouver Canucks. The Kings quite handily KICKED THEIR ASSES, upset-style, and sent the goofy-looking Sedin twins to the golf courses in only five games to advance to the second round of the playoffs for the first time since 2001.

Now, the Kings are embroiled in a battle with the St. Louis Blues. So far, so good…the Kings took the first two games from St. Louis and are coming home to Staples Center to play games four and five in the coming few days.
